Being modeling in Blender for over 6 years and never knew about Vertex Crease in subdiv mode... It does help a lot to tackle some difficult shapes, and it doesn't have a hotkey assigned by default.

Blender 5.0 will have these 🥹

In DOOM: The Dark Ages, I polished the animation for the Grenade Launcher Intro and made the ammo and gun feel heavy and weighty when the ammo falls into place. The idea was to make the players feel like it is a hefty and powerful weapon.

LOVE ALL THESE ARTISTS WHO GO AND LEARN BLENDER AND MAKE THEIR LIVES 100000X EASIER. MAKING THEIR ART REFERENCES AND BUSINESS SETUPS WITH IT. VISIONARIES. IT LOOKS SO DAMN CONVENIENT. YOU CAN LEARN IT. I BELIEVE IN YOU! YOU ARE INCREDIBLY SKILLED AND CAPABLE!!

Often on my streams, people asked how I made those folds on Hornet 🐞
So I decided to make a short guide so that this method would be available outside of streams and could be easily saved
The Hornet itself will be posted a bit later!😶‍🌫️

[Anton Hand @AntonHand]

The thing everyone misses about why this game looks so good is that the Specular Term ISN'T a reflection of the environment, but a bullshit 2-highlights-per-face blurry cubemap.

It's what gives everything a unified ethereal feel.

It's beautiful because it ISN'T "realistic".

New retopology workflow is on the way for ZBrush this year! How will this impact YOUR productivity?

Our feature artist/tutorial today is this example of WEIGHT and BALANCE, by the talented @Sir_PinkPirate! Note that the weight is first THROWN round, and the body FOLLOWS. Then the torso goes back, and the leg lifts, in ANTICIPATION of PULLING the weight overhead! #anime #manga

I created a Maya script that automatically matches or cancels the root motion for game engine exports (compatible with any rig)

General Physics incoming ⛹️‍♂️

In v37.40, General Physics will enter Beta so you can publish islands with dynamic, physics-enabled gameplay. Players will be able to push, topple, hit, and move objects in more engaging ways.

Make sure your islands are physics-ready!: https://t.co/UUf1f2x1qS
